Taurus Horoscope: May 2018

An awakening

It's an exciting time to be a Taurus. Or nerve wracking, depending on your perspective. Here's the good news: everything in your life is about to change. Here's the bad news: as a Taurus, you probably just cringed when you read that sentence. Why? You hate change. Being pulled out of your comfort zone is like the kiss of death. Unfortunately, the universe has decided that your life has reached a place of such utter complacency that without a shove out of the proverbial airplane of life, you'll never truly learn how capable you are of flying.

This will be a long process, Taurus, so don't think it's all happening now. This month, however, you will get a taste of what's to come. On May 15 and until November 6, 2018, Uranus, the planet of chaos, liberation, and change, will move through Taurus for just enough time to let you know that life as you know it is about to be rattled. Uranus will move fully into Taurus in 2019 and remains in your sign through 2026. Those will be the years you fully come alive in ways you can't even imagine right now. For this month however, you'll start to feel like Sleeping Beauty, waking up after an extended nap. You have been asleep at the wheel for far too long, Taurus. It's time to wake up.

Adding to the profound shift on May 15 is a New Moon, also in your sign. It's clear that something big is happening in your life this month and it all has to do with your personal attitude on life and your relationships with others. You have an itch that must be scratched now -- an itch to come alive again and live life on your terms. You will not settle for anything else and guess what? You shouldn't have to.

Adding to this is a major career push. On May 16 Mars will move into Aquarius and visit the top of your chart. Mars will be here for an unusually long stretch of time -- until November 15, 2018. This is because he'll go retrograde over the summer, allowing you to recalibrate your professional goals. For now, however, there is incredible support to begin something new related to your goals in life. What do you really want to achieve? Does it take you out of that complacent comfort zone? Good. That's the path you need to follow. It's time.
